Making a Tethered Connection

Your device supports a direct connection through a USB cable to a Windows or Mac computer.
(This is commonly referred to as a "tethered" connection.)
Note: If you'll be using USB for data transfer (and not just for charging your device), you must
install the device driver. (See "Windows" or "Mac", below.) No Installation CD is required
– your device supports the TRU-Install feature.
Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4.x, after you connect your device you may see a warning
message that your computer is running on UPS backup battery and that you should
perform a computer shutdown. You can continue with your work. To prevent this
message from being displayed, install the device driver (see "Mac", below).
Windows

1. Make sure your device is turned on.
2. Connect your device to your computer through the micro-USB cable.
3. If the TRU-Install window is not displayed, in Windows Explorer browse to the
TRU-Install entry
and run Setup.exe.
